Another creation

Today I tried making another recipe of my own. I call this one Dark Chocolate Doughnut Cookies. There's a good news and bad news for this one. The good news is that, you can make two different kinds of cookies from one mixture. The bad news is, I should've used white chocolate for the decoration instead of icing sugar, as a result, these cookies taste a little too sweet than they're supposed to be (or at least I thought so). Maybe you can try using white chocolate and tell me how they taste? Well anyway, despite the extreme sweetness, I think they taste quite alright. My husband actually loves them! he said the bitterness from the dark cocoa powder balanced the sweetness from the icing sugar. And since Christmas is just around the corner, why don't you try making some for yourself and serve them to your love ones :)

Ingredients:

75g margarine

25g butter

100g castor sugar

1/4tsp vanilla extract

1 egg

1/2tsp baking powder

20g chocolate powder

10 milk powder

110g all purpose flour

50g chocolate compound (melted)

chopped almond for coating

How to bake:

1. Preheat oven to 150C

2. Whisk margarine, butter, sugar and vanilla extract until light.

3. Add in egg, mix well.

4. Fold in flour, baking powder, chocolate and milk powder. Mix evenly.

5. Take one teaspoon and round the dough. Roll them around the chopped almonds. Make a depression down the center using your thumb.

6. Place in a tin that have been layered with greaseproof paper and bake for around 25 minutes.

7. Fill the depression with the melted chocolate compound when the cookies are baked and cooled.

I separate the mixtures into two portions and make Simple Chocolate Almond Cookies. Just round the mixtures and coat them with chopped almonds, no need to add melted chocolate on top.
